A good chair. I know it's not technically a gadget but if you're spending half of your day on the computer you should spend on a good chair with proper lumbar support. Your back will thank you.

Just don't fall for those "gamer" chairs. They're designed to look pretty, not to be comfortable.

I don't know what you're talking about, they're pretty comfortable if I say so myself

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

The issue is, yeah they're comfortable, but they're not comfortable in a good way for your body. You slouch and fuck your spine up. Also you look like a teenager, do you have a racecar bed too?

do you have a racecar bed too?

Why do you hate fun?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have fun, whilst sitting on a super comfy chair made to be adaptable and ergonomic so I can have fun for longer without fucking up my body. 🤷‍♂️

With a gaming chair, you're also overpaying for bad posture and bad materials. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Yhc6mmdJC4

It just makes me think 'kid that got scammed and follows trends to fit in', not 'fun'

Gamer chairs are the same chairs you’re buying but more expensive.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Gamer chairs are worse for you than office chairs. They're designed to look "cool" but most of what they do is kill your back.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're just cheap shit. I don't buy cheap shit, I have a premium chair that I bought used for a fraction of the price, cheaper than a "gamer chair" 🫣

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but mine has RGB and reclines flat

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

do you have a racecar bed too?

I fucking wish

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Someone should make a chair that's designed to be slouched in without fucking up your back.
